Mollianne woke up from her nap and stretched to help her wake up fully. She crawled out of bed and then opened the door and walked out to the living room.

"Did you have a nice nap?" Amanda asked when she saw Mollianne

Mollianne glanced at Amanda before nodding.

"Can we talk about your outburst earlier?" Amanda asked

"Oh that. It was nothing." Mollianne replied even though it wasn't nothing. Then she added, "I was just tired."

"Okay well I thought you'd like to know that your sister is fine." Amanda told Mollianne

"She's alive?" Mollianne asked for confirmation that she heard right

Amanda nodded, "Yes and she has a one year old son."

Mollianne smiled softly but her eyes looked sad.

Later that day, Amanda was cooking dinner when Mollianne walked in.

"What are you making?" Mollianne asked

"I'm cooking rice, chicken, and caramelized carrots." Amanda replied

Mollianne nodded, "Can I help?" Mollianne wanted to talk to Amanda but she had to ease her way into it.

"Of course." Amanda replied "Could you cut the carrots please?"

Mollianne nodded as she got a knife and started to cut up the carrots.

"So how was your day? How was work?" Mollianne asked trying to make small talk

Amanda smiled softly, "My day was good, and work was okay. I'm working on a case and we haven't caught the perpetrator yet."

Mollianne nodded, "Well you'll catch him eventually. It's like the saying 'you can run, but you can't hide'."

"Thanks. I'm glad you believe in me when I don't really believe in myself right now." Amanda stated

Mollianne took a deep breath, "So...about my outburst earlier. It was partly because I was tired, but the reason I was tired is because I've been having bad dreams."

"Bad dreams? What about, sweets?" Amanda asked

Mollianne sighed, "About the day my sister and I were separated. I was screaming and crying for her." Then Mollianne stopped cutting the carrots and started crying, "I miss her so much, Mandy."

Amanda sighed sadly. She felt so bad for Mollianne. She asked, "Can I give you a hug?"

Mollianne nodded and practically ran into Amanda's open arms. She cried hysterically.

Amanda hugged Mollianne and rubbed her back soothingly. Then she found herself singing, which is something she didn't think she would ever do.

Mollianne sniffled and then looked up at Amanda. She asked, "Mandy? Do you think my mommy misses me?"

Amanda looked down so her eyes met Mollianne's. She nodded, "Absolutely. Every second of the day she is thinking of and missing you."

Mollianne nodded and smiled softly, "Okay Mandy."
